Restrict the Selectable Dates

The xamMonthCalendar™ control gives you three different ways to restrict the dates an end user can select. You can prevent end users from selecting a certain day of the week, a specific range of dates, or dates outside a specified minimum/maximum date.

DisabledDaysOfWeek property - Set this property to prevent end users from selecting specific days of the week, such as Saturdays and Sundays.
DisabledDates collection - Add CalendarDateRange objects to restrict end users from selecting a specific date or range of dates.
MinDate and MaxDate properties - Set these properties to prevent end users from selecting outside of a specific range of dates.

The following example code demonstrates how to restrict the selectable dates. The example code restricts the selectable dates by combining the use of all three properties outlined above.

In XAML:

<igEditors:XamMonthCalendar
    Name="xamMonthCalendar1"
    DisabledDaysOfWeek="Saturday, Sunday"
    MinDate="1/1/2008"
    MaxDate="12/31/2009">
    <igEditors:XamMonthCalendar.DisabledDates>
        <igEditors:CalendarDateRange Start="1/1/09" End="1/02/09" />
    </igEditors:XamMonthCalendar.DisabledDates>
</igEditors:XamMonthCalendar>

In Visual Basic:

Imports Infragistics.Windows.Editors
...
'Prevent end users from selecting weekends
Me.xamMonthCalendar1.DisabledDaysOfWeek = DayOfWeekFlags.Saturday Or DayOfWeekFlags.Sunday
'Prevent end users from selecting dates before 1/1/2008 and after 12/31/2009
Me.xamMonthCalendar1.MinDate = New DateTime(2008, 1, 1)
Me.xamMonthCalendar1.MaxDate = New DateTime(2009, 12, 31)
'Prevent end users from selecting New Year's Day and day after
Dim firstHolidayRange As New CalendarDateRange(New DateTime(2009, 1, 1), New DateTime(2009, 1, 2))
Me.xamMonthCalendar1.DisabledDates.Add(firstHolidayRange)
...

In C#:

using Infragistics.Windows.Editors;
...
//Prevent end users from selecting weekends
this.xamMonthCalendar1.DisabledDaysOfWeek = DayOfWeekFlags.Saturday | DayOfWeekFlags.Sunday;
//Prevent end users from selecting dates before 1/1/2008 and after 12/31/2009
this.xamMonthCalendar1.MinDate = new DateTime(2008, 1, 1);
this.xamMonthCalendar1.MaxDate = new DateTime(2009, 12, 31);
//Prevent end users from selecting New Year's Day and day after
CalendarDateRange firstHolidayRange = new CalendarDateRange(new DateTime(2009, 1, 1), new DateTime(2009, 1, 2));
this.xamMonthCalendar1.DisabledDates.Add(firstHolidayRange);
